Looks like you use the AUX feature for the audio. Can you still use your OEM deck and AUX IN for audio?

Nice mod you guys and it is on stick. So did you guys do the mod yourself or did you guys pay for it. If you guys did pay for it how much was the labor with the headunit together. Thanks

I thought about the air vents too, but those are primary vents and I hate loose them on a hot day. I'll just wait a few months for the dash kit from Scorche.

Scorche did not show the kit at CES, but the guy I talked to was apart of the design team. He said that the kit will be a full install kit like to 2006 civic. Wire harness and everything to relocat the OEM deck. They are trying to beat Metra to the release. Maybe in April or May.

nice install! It's kinda low, but from the video, I see that you can make the screen tilted to have a better view. Congrat.

Does either Metra or Scorche have a website? I couldn't find any on google.

I'm thinking about buying the IS250 AWD, but I can only afford it without the Navi. So sometimes in the future, I would like to install a Navi, but as of now, it does not seem like there is a feasible solution, either it's too low or giving up the air vent.
